Following Potential Draftees - 2019 (not kidding)

Listen to this guy interview and tell me the Jazz aren't tempted to draft him.



Liked what I saw in those videos a lot. Really good athleticism for his size and imo, looking at his body, a lot of room to get even better.

That said, his rebounding numbers and blocks sort of blow for someone with that size. His 3 pt % is also pretty meh considering it’s the college 3 and he had years to improve on it.

The kid is only 18. I think he should be the priority.

Our off-season can take one of 6 paths (in order of my preference):

#1 - move up in 1st round, strike big in free agency (best option)

#2 - stay put in draft, strike big in free agency

#3 - move out of 1st round, strike big in free agency

#4 - move up in 1st round, strike out in free agency (better than #2 or #4)

#5 - stay put in draft, strike out in free agency (most likely)

#6 - move out of 1st round, strike out in free agency (absolute morale killer)

If we trade up in the draft, there is positive momentum no matter what we do in the off-season. If we fail in free agency, at least we maximized the draft. Based on our history, it is more likely that we strike out in free agency than strike big in free agency. I think we should trade up if we can and we should target this guy.

There is going to be so much wheeling and dealing in this draft. Because this draft has a reputation as a "weak draft", screw it, let's try to trade up and get Doumboya, Rui or Clarke.
 
I'm so tired of this "Zion, Ja and RJ are the clear top 3 in this class and nobody else is close to them" media narrative.
 
I don't think so. I have serious concerns about RJ's game in particular.

No doubts on Ja or Zion but agree on RJ. Dude has the biggest bust potential, relative to his pick, of anyone in this draft...............................................................................................................................................................................................................................IMO.
